Oh BO0M......lets not all get too smart here...
As has been mentioned,we do not have all the facts yet,to confirm double engine failure.
However, we are not talking about perfect conditions with an optimum approach angle and speed to the water surface..Is it not apparent to you that his choice of touchdown/crash point may well have been compromised!..just a little!

.."Done incorrectly"......please!
Cmon Yaw I think you have read to much into what I'm trying to say. I've sqid over and over we don't know the facts!

The point I was trying to get across is that a double engine flame out and glide is highly unlikely! There isn't an ATR pilot out there worth his/her salt that doesn't know VmHB and feathered props are your life in such an event. Stretching the glide can only be achieved with Flap 15 and allowing the VmHB to reduce (and let's face it it's not really stretching it).

Like I said stating some facts to hopefully make people aware a double flame out/glide this was not.
